From meeting pelicans to viewing playful seals and, if luck permits, leaping dolphins and shy turtles - all this and more on the daily morning educational dolphin and seal cruises.
The tour departs at 09h00 (check-in 08h30) every morning from our Jetty at the Walvis Bay Waterfront for a marine educational sightseeing tour in the bay area in search of the marine big 5: Whales, Dolphins, Mola, Leatherback turtle and seals. While serving hot coffee and tea, our initial route takes visitors past oyster farms as it approaches Pelican Point with its landmark lighthouse and 60,000 resident Cape Fur Seals. In season (July to November), larger mammals such as the Southern Right Whale and Humpback Whales are often spotted, while other whale species, such as the Gray whale and the Pygmy Right whale have made appearances. Bottlenose, Heaviside and Dusky dolphins are regularly seen, as are Mola Molas and Leatherback Turtles.
Accompanying the catamarans throughout are a variety of seabirds, such as the Kelp Gull, Hartlaub’s Gull, Pelicans and Cape Cormorant.
The journey from Pelican Point takes visitors past some of the more interesting ships and oil rigs in the bay as fresh oysters are served with sparkling wine, savoury snacks and desserts together with light drinks, cooldrinks and water. The cruise returns to the Waterfront at around 12h30.
